HEATING MEANS.

Application led May 25, 1925. Serial No. 32,597.

To all 'whom t may concern.'

-Be it known that l, GEORGE W'Ann, a citizen'of the United States, and a resident of the city of Newark, county ofd Essex,- and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating of which the following is a specification sufiicient to enable those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains to utilize the same.

My improvements relate to what may be designated as a hydro-electric radiator for heating purposes in which an electric. resistalice coil is utilized to raise the temperature of water contained in a suitable unit b v which the heat is imparted to the adjacent atmosphere, the invention consisting, in the specific structure and combination of parts described and claimed herein.

ln the accompanying drawings I illustrate a -practical embodiment of the essential features of my invention in connection with a radiator of the character designated.

Fig/1, is a side elevation'of the heat radiator;

Fig. 2, is an end elevation thereof;

Fig. 3, is a sectional elevation taken upon the planes of the angular line indicated by 3-3, Fig. 2;

Fig. il, is a full sized detail of the electrical heating unit, the resistance coil being shown in elevation, and heating chamber in central longitudinal section;

Fig. is an elevation of the inner side of the heating chamber 4cap shown in the preceding figures of the drawings;

Fig. 6, is a side elevation thereof;

Fig. 7, is a side elevation of the exterior of the heating chamber as formed with hexagonal head;

Fig. 8, is an end elevation thereof and Fig. 9, is a sectional detail, similar to Fig. 4. showing a modification in the form of closure cap for the heating chamber, adapted particularly for use in conjunction with hexagonal ,head shown in Figs. 7 and 8.

In said drawings R, represents the equivap lent 'of asectional radiator of the' steam or hot water tvpe, assembled and sealed in a manner wel known in the prior art, but in the present case closedin such manner as to retain a suitable quantity and level of water to act as the heat absorbing and distribut- A chamber H,

ing vehicle or medium. Thus, screw plugs fr, r, close the usual upper and lower end tops, and the upper portion of the radiator is provided with the customary pet cock r. As heretofore, the conjunctive upper and lower portions of the radiator sections constitute respectively an upper horizontal longitudinal space or chamber r2, and a corresponding lower space or chamber r3, the latter of relatively larger area. It is in this lower water space r3, that In position my heating chamber H, for the accommodation of the electric heating coil E, which is mounted in a socket S, in a manner well known in the art, said heating unit E, S, being a commercial commodity and being utilized in this connection as a conveniently available component part of-my new hydro-electric radiator, vconsidered in a unitary sense.

The socket S, is connected upon occasion with a suitable electric circuit by means 0f the usual wire conduit s, and plug s', as indicated more particularly in Fig. l, of the drawings.

The outer extremity or head of the heating chamber H, is peripherally screw threaded, as at k, for engagment with a female screw thread tapped for the purpose in the lower portion of the radiator in align- ,ment with the aforesaid lower water space into which the contracted portion of the protrudes, as shown more particularly in Fig. 3, of the drawings.

The said outer end or head of the heating chamber H, is closed by a cap C, which also functions as a support for the socket S, `of the heating coil E, as will be seen by reference more particularly to Figs. 4 and 9, of the drawings, and this cap may fit the head externally as provided for in the first six figures of the drawings, or internally as in Fig. 9, thereof. In either case the cap C, is preferably formed with vent holes 0, c, which admit of a neutralization of air pressure within the heating chamber and for a slight degree of air circulation sufficient to prevent overheating. v

The absence of steam or hot water pipes andconnections renders 'my hydro-electric radiator portable'in. character; and the sanltary advantages of heating with water as a vehicle for heat dissemination are Well known in the art,

What I claim as m invention and desire movable electric socket, said electric socket, to secure by Letters atent, is n an electric heating coil incorporated AWith 10 In combination with a sealed radiator conf saidelectric socket and frictionally engaging taining a liquid heat vehicle, 4a vone piece Said cap, and means for connecting said 5 heating chamber positioned therein and socket and heating element with an electric formed with a head protuberant therefrom, circuit, substantially in the manner and for a cap 'fitting the said head of the heating the purpose'set forth. f chamber and constituting a seat for 'a re- GEORGE WADE.
